Which flower text symbol to pick
✿ is filled and ❀ is the same florette in outline. ⚘ is the one character Unicode names plainly Flower. None of the three is an emoji, so each takes the color of the words round it. Text flowers also holds three mahjong flower tiles.
Rose symbol copy and paste
Unicode names one character rose, the 🌹 emoji, first under Roses and flower emoji. For a rose in plain text there is 薔, which Unihan glosses as rose, and the keyboard rose @}->--, typed from ordinary keys.
🀢, 🀣 and 🀥 are the mahjong tiles for plum, orchid and chrysanthemum. A device with no font for them shows an empty box.
A wrapper holds the word name. Paste it, then type your own name over the word.
The search box takes one word: kanji finds 12 tiles and rose finds 9.
Questions and answers
Is there a rose text symbol?
Not a drawn one. Unicode names a single character rose, and it is the 🌹 emoji. In plain text the choices are 薔, the character Unihan glosses as rose, or a keyboard rose such as @}->--.
How do I write flower in Japanese?
花, read hana. Unihan defines it as flower; blossoms, and it is on the 2010 list of everyday kanji. Chinese writes flower with the same character and reads it huā.
Why does ✿ have no color?
Because ✿ is not an emoji. It is a text character from the Dingbats block, drawn by the same font as your letters, so it takes their color. The flower emoji are separate characters and bring their own.
Which emoji count as flower emoji?
CLDR, the list of emoji search words, files flower under twelve emoji, from 💐 Bouquet to 🎴 Flower playing cards. Eight are tiles on this page and the other four appear in the combos.
